Its an equally safe bet that none of the Democratic candidates are losing sleep over that fact.
Perhaps. But some of the Democrat financial backers are becoming "uneasy".
"But there is growing unease among some of Obama’s biggest financial backers about the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state, providing an opening for the vice president."

And if there's one thing that interests Hillary, it's money.

note v. From Don Diego's link
"Clinton, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, isn’t a target of the investigation."
which translated into birther-speak = "Hillary is guilty of....something....with her email server. Just like she was guilty of ...something....in Benghazi."
Actually there is a more likely translation, . . . relating to cautious journalism.
"All individuals coming into the orbit of the federal prosecutor and grand jury fall into one of three categories: witness, subject or target.
__A target is someone who stands a 50 percent or more chance of being criminally charged. As a practical matter, once an individual has been branded a target, the prosecutor has decided that the individual is guilty. The prosecutor is simply looking for strong enough evidence to indict.
__A witness is not under any suspicion, as yet, but simply has information of interest to a grand jury.
__A subject is somewhere in-between a target and a witness. He or she has engaged in conduct that may look suspicious or unethical, but the prosecutor is not certain that a provable crime has been committed and wants to do more investigating in order to be sure."
Ref: Solomon L. Wisenberg
DonDiego supposes Secretary Clinton is not merely a "witness" in the ongoing investigation.
And the FBI et. al. have not yet designated her a "target".
So, it's likely that she is a "subject".
Had the Bloomberg article cited designated Secretary Clinton a "target" prematurely, they might have opened themselves up to legal action. Better to be safe than sorry.
